We are investing in the future, and we need a talented team with exceptional people, who believe in each other, to help us achieve this.

Join us, as we rise to the challenge and **build a world where nothing goes to waste**

Energy Recovery Facilities are vital in supporting the UK’s ambition to reduce waste in an efficient and effective manner, helping to reduce the impact of waste on climate change. After reducing, reusing and recycling as much as possible, our Energy Recovery Facilities (ERFs) provide the infrastructure to efficiently recover energy from residual waste, meaning landfill becomes the last resort.

Additional duties will include some general operative duties to support site operations, including cleaning and plant operation.

- Operational weighbridge experience and previous administration experience, as essential
- Knowledge of the Waste Industry
- Knowledge of administration systems
- A good level of general education to include Maths and English

**Why work for Viridor?**

There has never been a more exciting time to join Viridor. Following the acquisition of the business by the global private equity firm, KKR, the core business has been reshaped to focus on our leading UK Energy from Waste portfolio and the development of our growing Polymers Recycling business.

**What we can offer you**

We invest in our people to reward them for their hard work, and we have a host of company benefits available to you when you join, including:

- Your Share - our profit share scheme which offers all employees an opportunity to share in the company profits.

- Participation in our refer a friend scheme - earn £1000 for every successful referral.
- To look after your health, we offer free eye tests and safety eyewear where needed, alongside a range of plans with Simply Health.
- Helping you make the most of your leisure time, we have a wide range of discounts available to you, ranging from hotels and holidays to cinema tickets and days out, as well as from a variety of high street retailers.
